Founded in 1952, the International Film Festival of India has now emerged as one of the most prominent film festivals in Asia.
With the philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family) at its core, the International Film Festival of India has been erasing boundaries within the world of art and cinema. The annual festival offers a platform to all the cinephiles and creators across the globe to showcase their work and talent, engage with film cultures of various nations and promote understanding of the social and cultural ethos of world cinema.
Conducted jointly by the Directorate of Film Festivals and the State Government of Goa, the festival has been organized in various cities in the past like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Madras, Goa, etc. The festival continues to work towards the discovery, support, and promotion of films across genres, cultures, and languages with a vision of connecting Indian cinema to the world and also bringing world cinema to India.
